STARTING POINT

Among the different areas of action contemplated in the Sustainable Urban Mobility plan, the pedestrianization of the historic center was a key point and a top priority of the project that required a rethinking of an area of 32 hectares that should be controlled to allow access only to authorized vehicles. The circulatory plan of the area consisted of 9 entry points and 8 exit points. Each transit had specific peculiarities, which forced the intercommunication of the observation points to interpret input and output information, according to dates and times. All information should be centralized under a single control point to perform global data management and allow the processing of authorized lists.

SOLUTION

To guarantee access control to the pedestrian zone and to ensure compliance with the regulations at all times, a surveillance system capable of reading the license plates automatically and in real time was required. The solution chosen and deployed was Traffice Eye from Lector Vision. To record the traffic rolled 24 hours a day, 18 cameras were placed at the strategic points. These control units are responsible for reading the license plates and collecting data of place, date and time. Intercom between computers and central server is done through TCP / IP, which allows access to the recording units at any time to modify their configuration, operation and download data.

After a period of testing, in January 2014 the Traffic Eye reading system was put into operation in the pedestrian zone of Huesca. Since then and until today the benefits of this measure along with other actions that were contemplated in the PMUS plan such as public transport, parking, and the bike lane have helped to significantly improve the quality of life in the city creating a culture of sustainable mobility Among its citizens.
